Kajol shoots down the possibility of DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai sequels: ‘No one wants to know what happened after the train'
Kajol, who will soon be seen in the horror film Maa, is known for starring in some of the biggest hits of the 1990s; films such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. While these films are still loved by fans, Kajol is of the opinion that they don't need a sequel. In a recent interview, Kajol said that it is often suggested to her that they should make a sequel to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where her and Shah Rukh Khan's characters fall in love again, but she doesn't like the idea much. She also said that she doesn't wish to know what happened after her character, Simran, boarded the train scene in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge's last scene.
Talking to Pinkvilla, Kajol said, 'People say you should make Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2 when you grow older and fall in love again with Shah Rukh Khan and I'm like… the thing is, that Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was great because it was a different set of people, it was a different world. You still had people who believed in that kind of love. Like that eternal, once in a lifetime kind of love. If you ask someone today, they say that if this (relationship) doesn't work out, we have ten other options standing on that track over there so it's difficult in today's time to conceive a story that has the same belief pattern.' However, when asked if she would like to do a 'mature love story' with Shah Rukh, Kajol said she would like to see a film like that.
Kajol also spoke about Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and said that she would never want to watch a sequel of that film. 'Like I can't imagine a DDLJ 2. Like what happened after the train? No one wants to know. Do you really want to know if they fought over the diapers or not? It's just wonderful that it's just left at the end and you know that the train left and it said 'the end'. Now you can just leave it to imagination. They lived happily ever after, it's one sentence, it's not a marriage so it's perfect,' she said.

In the same chat, Kajol shared that she has done limited films in her 34-year-long career and has never had any regrets about refusing a film. When asked if there has been a film that she refused, which later turned out to be a big hit, she said, 'Yes, lots of times. Prime example of 3 Idiots. Those films were theirs. The one who has that in their destiny, they are the ones who get it.'
